3096,linux vboxvideo no longer works with non-standard resolutions -> fixed in SVN,stephanecharette,,"This used to work in previous 1.x, 2.0, and 2.1 releases of VB. I have a screen resolution in my Debian Etch 4 guest that ensures the guest takes just a little bit less than one of my physical screen. This way I can see just enough of the host to interact when I need it.
The relevant lines in my guest xorg.conf file are:
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection ""Display""
Depth 24
Modes ""1648x936"" ""1280x1024"" ""1024x768"" ""800x600"" ""640x480""
EndSubSection
Now that I've upgraded to VB 2.1.2, I re-installed the guest additions and rebooted the guest. But the guest desktop now doesn't show up correctly. The screen is only randomly updated, the menubar does not show, and when I type into a bash command-prompt window I only see maybe 1 out of 20 or 30 characters show up on the screen. (The other characters are there, since when I press ENTER the commands execute correctly. Only screen updates are not working.)
If I remove the ""1648x936"" resolution, then everything works fine at 1280x1024. (But this resolution is not wide enough and too high to fit on my screen!)
If I comment out the vboxvideo driver and use the vesa driver instead, then it comes up in 1280x1024, and again screen redraws are working fine.",defect,closed,major,guest additions,VirtualBox 2.1.2,fixed,,,Linux,Linux
